The system will ask if you have filed C-6 reports before. If you answer YES, it will ask if you have a username and password that you used prior to May 2022. If you answer yes, it will prompt you to enter that username and password.
Once your credentials are entered correctly, the system will route you back to the Sponsors I file for screen. You’ll see the sponsor added to the list. Then you can navigate to the C-6 system by clicking the link for your sponsor.
If you have not filed C-6 reports before, or cannot remember your username and password, click NO. This will bring you to a screen to Request access.
